What programme are you using? It could be a wierd sort of vertical alignment tool with a 'front to back alignment' showing you had tilted downward rather than straight on. It isn't usual for these to save 'on show' when you 'save as'.

Were you working on someone elses image off the internet? it could be a symbol embedded into their images that 'spoils' unauthorised copies.

Compass. You likely have GPS information in your images.

It will not be in your saved pic. It's a "Rotate Canvas" tool you accidentally engaged. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2161711

Yes, it does look like a compass needle pointing north.

It is a common Compass signal, and as Jerry said the orientation in the photo (Red up) means it's pointing north.

This is the rotate image symbol in Photoshop.
